Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dig me up
Lay me down
Do your worst
Go to town
Let me out
Or let me in
You're too late
Once again
[Verse 2]
You can come a little closer
See what's heathen
Until I see you dressed in blood
Then we even Stevens
Shoulda traded in my past
To save my future
Girl or a boy
I don't wanna confuse yaaah
[Verse 3]
Border girl
Give it up, oh you're living
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
Border girl
Give it up, oh you're living
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
[Verse 4]
Miracle
Send another miracle
Miracle
Send another miracle
Miracle
Send another miracle
Miracle
Send another miracle
[Verse 5]
Beauty
Skin deep
Peeling
Makes bleed
Always
Leaves me
Crying
Cruelly
Grinning
Do your sinning
All the way to dying
[Verse 6]
Dig me up
Lay me down
Do your worst
Go to town
Let me out
Or let me in
[Verse 7]
Shoulda traded in my past
To save my future
Girl or a boy
I don't wanna confuse yaaah
[Verse 8]
Border girl
Give it up, oh you're living
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
Border girl
Give it up, oh you're living
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
[Verse 9]
Border girl
Give, give it up, oh you're living
(Send another miracle)
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
(Send another miracle)
Border girl
Give, give it up, oh you're living
(Send another miracle)
You don't have to take, take, take all you're given
(Send another miracle)
[Verse 10]
In the morning I awake
In the morning I escape
And the warning comes too late
Yeah I doing alright
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
Oh miracle
Send another miracle
Miracle
Send another miracle
